Meet Rocky, the greyhound who needs a new start, and the Stephenson family, who need him even more – they just don’t know it yet!

Rocky was once Sheldon Rocket, a champion racer. Dad thinks he’s still a winner – until he discovers what a big mistake he’s made. Now it could be the end of the line for both of them, unless Anna can find a way to give Rocky – and her family - one last chance.

The captivating story of one remarkable dog and the people whose lives he will change forever.
